All the colours of Spring seem to find their way to Mahone Bay in June 🌸
Soft pink peonies, purple lupins, white picket fences, weathered cedar, bright green gardens, and the blue of the harbour beyond.
The Home & Garden Tour is more than beautiful homes — it’s a celebration of the season itself.
Join us June 13–14.
